Disclosed herein are systems and methods for indexing and searching an encrypted archive. In one exemplary aspect, a method comprises generating, by a hardware processor, an encrypted data archive based on a user backup performed using a backup plan with an encryption flag enabled and a user key; generating, by the hardware processor, an index key for the encrypted data archive; encrypting, by the hardware processor, the index key using the user key; storing, by the hardware processor, the index key in a secure data storage; creating and mounting, by the hardware processor, an encrypted file system folder for the encrypted data archive using the index key; decrypting, by the hardware processor, data in the encrypted data archive using the user key; and indexing, by the hardware processor, the decrypted data.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
5. The method of claim 1, further comprising using a cryptographic file system to store data at rest in encrypted format.
6. The method of claim 5, wherein the cryptographic file system is gocryptfs.
7. The method of claim 5, wherein the cryptographic file system functions in non-privileged mode.
12. The system of claim 8, wherein the hardware processor uses a cryptographic file system to store data at rest in encrypted format.
13. The system of claim 12, wherein the cryptographic file system is gocryptfs.
14. The system of claim 12, wherein the cryptographic file system functions in non-privileged mode.
